Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (227 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (113 g) confectioners sugar
- 1/2 cup (113 g) heavy cream
Flavoring Ingredients:
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup (85 g) strawberry jam
Garnish/Optional Ingredients:
(none listed in original recipe)
Instructions
- Prepare the cream cheese base by blending softened cream cheese, confectioner’s sugar, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl. Use an electric mixer to create a smooth, lump-free consistency. If the cream cheese feels firm, briefly warm it in the microwave for 10 seconds to enhance spreadability.
- In a separate clean bowl, whip the heavy cream until it develops medium peaks. This process typically takes 2-3 minutes, creating a soft, silky texture that holds its shape without becoming grainy.
- Gently incorporate the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Fold delicately to maintain the light, airy texture of the dip, avoiding aggressive stirring that could deflate the mixture.
- Transfer the creamy mixture to a shallow serving dish, spreading it evenly. Create an artistic swirl by spooning strawberry jam across the surface and using a knife to marble the design throughout the dip.
- Refrigerate until serving time. Accompany the dip with an array of dippers like graham crackers, vanilla wafers, or fresh fruit slices such as strawberries and apples. Keep chilled for optimal texture and freshness.
Notes
- Microwave cream cheese for 10-15 seconds to achieve a smooth, lump-free consistency, ensuring easier mixing and a silky texture.
- Watch carefully while whipping to avoid over-beating, stopping when soft peaks form to maintain a light, airy texture.
- Create beautiful marbled patterns by gently swirling strawberry jam with the tip of a knife, making the dip visually appealing.
- Experiment with different dippers like pretzels, shortbread cookies, or fresh fruit to add variety and excitement to the dish.
